OBXBILLSFAN Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 That's pretty steep. I don't have DirecTV and the only reason I would get it is for the NFL Sunday Ticket. It's not worth it even though I usually B word about the lousy games on network TV when the Bills are on the road. I have season tickets and Bills Home Games are an all day event so I hardly ever see the 4pm games anyways. If you don't go to the Bills home games and live out of town, then I can see paying whatever price they ask. 338448[/snapback] I don't think $199 for returning customers (I've had the Sunday Ticket for as long as DTV has offered it) is bad at all. DTV's regular programming packages are in many cases cheaper than cable as well. My wife and I drive 12 hours or so each way to all the home games, and watch the away games on Sunday Ticket. I think it's worth the $199 for just half the games, particularly when it keeps me out of the local sports bar (usually) with its $4 per pint Guinesses.

Bet you it wouldn't cost any more with gas the way it is. Right now $134 apiece for the opener. Gotta cost at least $150 for gas, no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
